If there are 115 students, and 51 received As (must be an easy grader!), then how many did not receive an A?
115 - 51 = 64
64%2F115 students did not receive an A.
Can you reduce that number?
What are the factors of 115? 1,5,25,115
What are the factors of 64? 1,2,4,8,16,32,64
No, it cannot be reduced.
